Music > Joy For Christmas Day by Kathy Mattea Writer: Annabelle Ang-Bok Joy For Christmas Day. Kathy Mattea (Narada Productions, Inc., 2003) Kathy Mattea's rich, mellow vocals and intimate style bring pure aural delight in this adventurous collection, which steps away from the more obvious country feel in Good News, her first Christmas album. Joy For Christmas Day carries a fun, experimental quality, best captured in R&B/funk-inspired pieces like Baby King and When The Baby Grew Up. Listeners in search of quiet or contemplative songs with a more tender or wistful touch will be delighted with pearls like Straw Against The Chill and Sing, Mary, Sing. All Because Of Him is a thoughtful, intimate celebration of Christ's birth, with His death hovering in the mind's eye. Definitely an album to cherish!
